The newsletter provides information on senology apps for mobile devices, upcoming conferences, and recent publications in senology and oncology. It encourages connecting with other specialists on social media and shares summaries of workshops on breast cancer, melanoma, lung cancer, and stem cells. The editorial discusses findings that screening mammography reduces breast cancer mortality by about 5% while mortality is much higher for unscreened women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Editorial
"Mortality reduction from mammographic screening"- Blake Cady, Massachusetts General Hospital,
Boston, MA, USA
“Take home message: Women who are in a screening program who develop breast cancer have only about a
5% risk of death from that cancer. Women who are not regularly screened and who develop a breast cancer
have a much higher risk of dying from that cancer, just as in 1969, before mammography was introduced,
about 50%. Most inportant, 50% of women dying of breast cancer were diagnosed before the age of 50. Thus,
the median age of women dying of their breast cancer was 49 at diagnosis, although they might have lived
into their 50s.”.

disease occur in women not regularly screened", Cancer. 2013 Sep 9 [Epub ahead of print])
